Hi there is a mini local near by thats loaded except for leather, and the navigation system and 10 speaker sound, is there any way or possiblity I can retrofit a Navigation? because I dislike the look fo the huge center console tach...

 

It would probably be prohibitively expensive. It'd probably be cheaper for you to pay a little more and factory order a MINI exactly to your desired specification.

 

NAV parts alone will be over 3k without labor of approx 20+ hours

The change to the HiFi stereo (10 speakers system) requires a of at least two different wiring harnesses. I.E. the MIN dealer will not do that.

So you would be much better off buying a car with the options installed from
the factory.

This has been discussed a few times in the NAV and Audio section. It would be appreciated if you would search for answers as most questions have been answer here on the forums.

 

Okay, but is there any bloody way to replace the ugly head unit or have something like chrono package? if not im gonna slap a stick on navigation protable unit with huge screen over the speedo... and just get a nice 6 focal speaker system and subwoofer

 

That is probably your best bet.

The OEM head unit MUST stay in the car as it part of the central computer system.

It can be moved but the parts have to be imported from japan and they are very very expensive. More than 1500 at last check. and that is just for the plastic pieces. that does not include taking the dash all apart and removing the secret compartment (which you will loose) and lots of other problems it causes in positioning of the switch in the lower dash.

Again search and reading will help you greatly there are many many threads on the subject of stereo equipment, speaker replacement and upgrades to audio components.
